Welcome to the Zen Den, a newly transformed office space where modern elegance seamlessly intertwines with energy efficiency. What was once a collection of uninspiring, cramped offices has been reimagined into a stunning, functional, and inviting legal workspace. The design of the Zen Den not only reflects a commitment to excellence but also embodies a dedication to environmental responsibility, creating an atmosphere that inspires both productivity and well-being.
Inspired by our client’s passion for Japan and Japanese martial arts, the Zen Den embraces minimalist design principles and natural materials to create a serene and harmonious environment. The layout accentuates the length of the space by aligning key design elements along an east-west axis. This thoughtful design includes east-west laid floorboards, matching Tasmanian oak joinery, and acoustic timber ceiling battens, all of which contribute to the space’s cohesive and elegant aesthetic.
Maximizing passive design opportunities, the existing north-facing openings flood the space with natural light and enhance ventilation. A central dividing wall, strategically positioned away from the north-facing window bays, amplifies the sense of openness. To foster connectivity and flexibility, a super-sized sliding door can disappear into the central wall, allowing for a smooth transition between the support staff and conferencing area and the lounge and personal workspace.
An electric fireplace in the lounge area adds a comforting, homely touch, creating a welcoming environment for clients and staff alike. Every detail in the Zen Den has been carefully curated, ensuring that the space not only meets the functional needs of a modern office but also offers an inspiring and comfortable place to work.
